Psalm 147 is written for exiles, including Christian exiles, to those who are not home yet. The message of Psalm 147 is similar to what angels told the shepherds on the first Christmas: glory to God and peace on earth. As we look at this psalm on this Christmas Eve, come with eyes ready to see that the power and might of God has been displayed in a way that you can actually grasp it—not through outward strength, but through a manger and a cross.
